This was heavier on the drama. The culmination of all the dark story lines from the previous books coming to pass. So much happened in this very short story. As always, Charity Parkerson packs a whole lot of emotion in just a few short chapters.
Also, the storylines for the next books have been set in motion and are very promising.
I'm enjoying this series.

So after reading Books 2 and 4, which I called superficial and without any real depth (they were), and where the 'heavy drug use' wasn't really heavy (it wasn't), here comes Book 3 to challenge both of those statements. Book 3 dug way deeper than the other books in this series, and was darker than the rest. Banks truly struggled with his family, and watched his father pretty much torture his mother day in and day out with an adulterous relationship right in front her face. The boy (yes, boy) lived in the house. Seeing his mother pretty much become an alcoholic, dealing with his own complicated feeling towards his father, and just his life in general, meant Banks sought comfort in alcohol and drugs. This was all really well done. I was really enjoying the story up until 40% in when, on a particularly bad night, Shane (Security) implied that Kyson was in for a world of heartbreak if he fell in love with Banks, and Kyson somehow took that as a scolding and tattled to Banks. It was all downhill from there for me, and Kyson never really recovered in my eyes. Shane said like one line to him, and he was pretty much telling him what anyone with sense would have told him, given the situation he'd just gotten out of.
I think part of the problem is that I read Shane's book first, so I know who he is as a person, and how fully he gives his life to the family. I also feel badly because I feel like I was supposed to cheer for Kyson. Banks literally saved him from a Daddy who was physically abusing him and took him in without any sexual expectations whatsoever. He lived with him for six months so, of course, Kyson would develop feelings for him. I guess I should also be proud that he was no longer a shy doormat and stood up to Shane and spoke his mind. But, honestly, What I DIDN'T like is him implying that he was the only one who loved Banks, that no one else truly loved him or saw him and that, in true 'knowing every daggone thing in your 20s' fashion, he had it all figured out and could love him out of his addiction. Little boy, shut up and have a seat. He annoyed the crap out of me. Yes, sure, your 6 months of experience trumps Shane caring for Banks for YEARS, after caring for his mother for YEARS. Like I said, I might be a bit biased lol.
I also realized that because of the fact that Kyson took on this role of caregiver at times, the relationship felt weird. Of course, boys can care for their Daddies, and they should, and yes, part of the reason Banks pushed himself to get better was because he felt that Kyson should have the space to be a Little, and not be the one taking care of him. But with the intensity of the burden Banks was carrying, and his sobriety being on a hair trigger, Kyson being a Little threw off the dynamic. Maybe the author should have made him a Middle? Anyhoo, by the time Kyson said something along the lines of 'sometimes we can switch being the Daddy,' a lightbulb went off in my head and my feelings were vindicated. Problem identified. Yeahhhhhh, no00. I don't do Switch Daddies, cause what?? Nah. So, this couple went downhill from there on out. I never really got back to liking Kyson after the whole Shane thing, and the switching suggestion killed it dead.
Still, the ending was sweet and them sharing their grief was good. I like the fact that the author attempted to take this book deeper than the others. For me, it just got derailed. It also has a HFN feeling, rather than HEA, except in superficial novella world, where people battling years of addiction don't fall off the wagon. Having said that, I don't care about them enough to have them drag their mess into the last two books for me to have to deal with Kyson, so cheers to your sobriety, Banks! Lol
As to the last 2 upcoming books, I don't know what could possibly happen to make me like Adan (the side piece) or Beau (the father). I have only seen ONE author successfully redeem a character that has done heinous things. It is hard to write a character so horribly that we hate them, and then ask us to cheer for their HEA. So the author has her work cut out for her. We'll seeeeee. I would skip their books altogether, but I'm addicted to this series!

Rescued by the Little
Banks, who owns The Playpen, a club for Daddies and Littles, hates who he is and thinks he'll never escape his destiny as fixer for his dad Beau.
Like his mom who's an alcoholic, Banks drinks too much but in saving Kyson from an abusive ex, he is saved himself.
As well as abuse it deals with grief, dependency and fiscal abuse too.
Jarek's brother comes into play and the first hint of feelings Soren and Shane have for each other.
It's a decent book with heavy themes but also happiness and spice.

This was good but the book started in what seemed the middle of Banks and Kysons relationship. This book may also not be quite as standalone as the others. After rescuing Kyson from an abusive relationship banks and Kyson grow close. This was more hurt/comfort than daddy/little and the representation of addiction was romanticized. The main theme I got was any hardship, even addiction and a horrible family, can be cured with love. Spice level: 1

I loved this story and the way that the protective junkie with the temper was so caring and gentle with Kyson. It's a dark story but it has sweet and romantic moments. Lots of emotions and feelings in this story. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content with a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

If you asked me, I couldn't tell you why this one touched my heart so hard... ripped it out, more like. I fear that if the author had actually made these little "shorts" into a full story... we would have been too wrecked to move on to the next one... seriously.
We would get a glimpse here and there of things that we were curious about. But in the end, we were glad that we didn't have to process the bad things, just get comfort from the good things.
I am hoping that Soren and Shane's story will be a bit more light hearted (probably too much to ask for) and boy, would I love to actually get to read about some "little" time... just sayin'!
Moving on to In Daddy's Care with my fingers crossed! 🥰

Happy and Sad
Charity wrote this amazing book. Inside it, two people have an addiction to alcohol and other drugs. One of the main characters of the book, Banks, falls in love with Kyson, who Banks saves from an abusive relationship. Love is a powerful thing when both decide to have it at 100%. It can be strong and powerful. This is how it is for Banks. Charity shows two sides of addiction and how it affects the people around you. She also shows how other people’s actions can influence you. You may not agree with this statement but that’s ok. But some people are just not strong enough and end up gone from addiction. This book is emotional and does have triggers so please read the Author’s Note before you read. It’s a 5 star ⭐️ rating this book as well. A job well done for Charity Parkerson. 💜

Wow.
Oh my goodness what an incredibly heart wrenching book. This series is amazing but dark. I've laughed but mostly cried my way through this book, I couldn't put it down. Charity Parkerson is an amazing world writer. Her characters have depth and range everyone is complex and beautifully damaged. I've wanted Banks book so bad; when someone is as violent and damaged as he appeared you know it's because he was broken deeply by people he loved and trusted. Man this book was amazing. Wishing Banks and Kyson a life filled with peace and love.

only writing a review to say their mom deserved SSSSSSOOOOOOOOO much better but i’m really glad kyson was able to make her feel like she could finally be free because she knew her son would be taken care of.
i would’ve loved to see them both explore being little together, i think it would’ve healed something in both of them to be very very vulnerable after what they both went through even if it’s some form of trauma bonding i think they need it.

Gritty, gripping, sad, and sweet. My favorite of the series, thus far, and definitely my favorite couple so far. Love the way they lean on each other, care for each other, give each other their strength & focus when needed. The Bosi family is not for the faint of heart, is it? Enjoy all the drama and all the love & laughter, they go together well in this series

Little strong.
A short DD/lb story filled with deadly struggles. This has been the saddest of the series but the happy moments are all the more adorable because of it. I enjoyed this tale and look forward to the next installment.

I am liking this series better with every book.
The relationship between Banks and Kyson was so compelling, the way they needed each other.
